Does the Feature Close-up type work for glossy or dark potted plants, planters and seed kits?

Yes. The opening frame lights the plant for its material, and the feature Close-up motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective potted plants, planters and seed kits, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Will my plant stay identical through the feature Close-up?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the leaf shape, pot glaze and soil level as uploaded, and the Feature Close-up motion — a push-in, pan, rack focus or tilt lands on the detail you name — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the plant before you publish.

Which shape should a plants feature Close-up be?

16:9 or 9:16 is the usual choice; the shape chips in the Studio switch it before rendering. Etsy and Shopify players each have a preferred shape, listed on the platform pages.

Plants feature Close-up video

The Feature Close-up type turns a potted monstera into a macro move onto one named detail — a push-in, pan, rack focus or tilt lands on the detail you name. For plants that means leaves stirring in a breeze with dappled light, in a clip four to six seconds long, with the leaf shape, pot glaze and soil level held in every frame.

Every plant in the range can go through the same Feature Close-up settings, so the Shopify collection page and the PDP galleries look like one shoot. Swap Feature Close-up for another type with one click to split-test potted plants, planters and seed kits.
